B Caden, a fourth grader, began to doubt the tooth fairy’s existence after noticing that the amount of money he received for each lost tooth was inconsistent — his first tooth, $100, but the following ones, less. His distrust drove him to complain to his mother Ashley: “I KNOW IT’S YOU MUM.” Eager to maintain the magic, Ashley sent an email to a “tooth fairy” address she had made up, asking the tooth fairy to respond and prove her son wrong. Dr Miller, a dentist in Seattle, received the email. Years earlier, her email address was created with the nickname “The Tooth Fairy” for her dental school applications. It had, by chance, turned into an email address that parents used to contact the Tooth Fairy. Dr Miller, having received thousands of similar emails over two decades, responded to Ashley’s request with a warm, comforting note to Caden. In this way, she helped maintain the magic for children and families all over the world. In 2008, six-year-old Piya was on vacation with her family in Singapore when her front tooth fell into a storm drain (排水沟) outside the hotel restaurant. Seeing his daughter in tears, Piya’s father, sent an email to the Tooth Fairy, “My tooth fell into a storm drain. I hope you’ve already taken it.” Surprisingly, Dr Miller, replied quickly, “Dear Piya, good luck! The Tooth Fairy is always watching over you, and I wish you a happy growing up.” That simple act of kindness turned Piya’s sadness into joy. Seventeen years later, after having her wisdom teeth removed, Piya reflected on her childhood and the email she had received from the Tooth Fairy. Now 23, she wrote back, expressing her gratitude and recalling the comforting words from all those years ago: “17 years ago, you wished me a happy growing up, and now, I’m excited to report that it definitely has been :)” A few minutes later, Dr Miller responded: Thank you for reminding me that kindness, no matter how small, leaves a lasting impact on the world. I REALLY needed that reminder today. Love, The Tooth Fairy 4. What drove Ashley to seek help from the Tooth Fairy? A. Her son’s doubt. B. Her son’s curiosity. C. Her trust in magic. D. Her lack of money. 5. How did Piya feel about her tooth loss in Singapore? A. From surprised to nervous. B From frightened to happy. C. From expectant to disappointed. D From worried to relieved. 6. What did Dr Miller receive from Piya’s reply? A. Hope. B. Help. C. Wisdom. D. Encouragement. 7. What is the story mainly about? A. A child experienced tooth loss and grew up. B. A doctor bridged the gap between parents and children. C. Letters from the Tooth Fairy spread magic and kindness. D. The Tooth Fairy’s secrets were discovered in magical letters. C Imagine two movie scenes: a young girl alone in a dark forest, and a lost baby dog reuniting with its owner. What music will you choose to go with it? You probably would choose very different music for each — tense ones for fear, soft ones for comfort. Why does music work this way? It shapes our feelings not just in our minds, but in our bodies too. Studies show music directly changes our heartbeat, breathing, and even temperature. Fast dance music speeds up our heart rate, while slow tunes relax our muscles. No wonder people listen to fast music to exercise and slow songs to relax. But most importantly, what’s happening in the body is what’s happening in the brain. We experience music in time, second by second. Our brains track its flow, predicting what will come next based on the “grammar” of music we learn from our culture — how notes, harmonies, and rhythms “should” go, which is key to how music stirs emotions. Different scales and sounds send clear emotional signals. As the C Major Scale and C Natural Minor Scale show, major keys often feel happy and bright, while minor keys sound sad and blue. High notes bring excitement, and low ones suggest danger; fast beats feel fun, and slow tempos feel thoughtful. Even instruments matter: distorted guitars sound angry, while flutes feel light. Music can also influence people easily and make them feel the same mood. Our brains developed to mirror others’ emotions, so we feel a singer’s joy or pain as our own. This is why even without sound we can still read emotion in a musician’s body language. Still, our responses to music aren’t the same for everyone. Taste is shaped by culture, friends, and even our mood that day. A song that makes one person cry might uplift another. As philosopher Schopenhauer wrote, “The inexpressible depth of music is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being.” It speaks to our deepest part of ourselves, reflecting our confusion, complexity (复杂性), and joy. Just like in a movie, being human means we all have soundtrack to our lives. 8. Why does the author mention two movie scenes at the beginning? A. To raise a question. B. To lead into the central idea. C. To encourage imagination. D. To describe a phenomenon. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Music patterns. B. The background of music. C. Music types. D. The impacts of music. 10. Which of the following elements are most suitable for sports background music? A. Major keys and high notes. B. Major keys and low notes. C. Minor keys and high notes. D. Minor keys and low notes. 11. What can be inferred in the last paragraph? A. Music comes from personal experiences. B. Music taste reflects a person’s uniqueness. C. Music complexity helps uplift people’s spirits. D. Music is an optional way to achieve happiness. D The brain doesn’t gradually fall asleep. Instead, it reaches a tipping point at which it rapidly passes from wakefulness to sleep — a discovery that could improve our treatment of sleep disorders. “Although sleep is so crucial to our life, how the brain falls asleep has been a mystery,” says Nir Grossman at Imperial College London. Grossman and his colleagues have designed a new framework for studying how the brain behaves while we fall asleep using electroencephalography (EEG) data. This study, which records electrical activity in the brain, indicates sleep stages and wakefulness. The team modelled 4.7 EEG signals in a mathematical space where each data point had positions as if it were a point on a map. This allowed the team to plot brain activity during wakefulness and track it as it moved towards what they call the sleep-onset zone, where brain activity shows the second stage of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. They applied this framework to EEG data collected from more than 1000 people as they fell asleep, measuring the distance between brain activity and sleep onset. On average, this distance remained largely unchanged until 10 minutes before sleep and then dropped sharply in the last few minutes. This tipping point — which occurred an average of 4.5 minutes before sleep — is the exact moment when the brain changes from wakefulness to sleep, says Junheng Li, also at Imperial College London. This suggests the transition from wakefulness to sleep “is a drastic change that occurs in the last few minutes”, says Grossman. By understanding this transition, we may be able to identify how they differ in those with difficulty in sleep, says Laura Lewis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, potentially leading to new treatments for the condition. 12. Why did Grossman carry out the experiment? A. To figure out the mystery of the brain. B. To explore how the brain changes to sleep. C. To prove that sleep is a gradual process. D. To compare different stages of NREM sleep. 13. What is a use of the new framework? A. It makes the process of EEG data collection easier. B. It shows the changes in brain structure before sleep. C. It enables researchers to track brain activity during transition. D. It provides a new way to predict people’s emotional responses. 14. The underlined word “drastic” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. predictable B. complex C. regular D. sudden 15. What is the potential significance of this research? A. It proves that sleep is essential to life. B. It replaces traditional EEG techniques. C. It helps develop new treatments for sleeplessness. D. It explains why people dream during NREM sleep. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分。） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Progression, Not Perfection With the rise of AI and technological advancements, life has become easier. 16 The feeling of not moving forward can become a problem for our health. Thus, focusing on “Progression” rather than “Perfection” becomes important. Progression is not just about moving forward, always achieving, or working non-stop. It is about learning and growing, just like how muscles get stronger when we exercise and how the mind gets better at thinking when we face problems. 17 Here are three main ways we can see progress. 1. Physical Progression The most common kind of progress is physical. Doing regular exercise can make you feel happier, help your brain work better, and keep your heart healthy. But the real benefits come from slowly getting stronger, faster, and more skilled. For example, if you run a little farther each week or lift slightly heavier weights, your body learns to deal with the challenge. 18 2. Behavioral Progression Progression also plays a crucial role in our daily behavior. In clinical psychology, there’s a technique called behavioral activation that helps people recover from depression by encouraging them to connect with activities that matter to them. Simply setting a goal is not effective on its own. 19 For example, if someone wants to improve their social life; instead of committing to hosting a large gathering, they could start by reaching out to a friend for a coffee. These little steps help raise their energy and motivation, leading to real progress over time. 3. Cognitive (认知的) Progression 20 Our minds can get stuck worrying about the same things over and over. Trying out new ideas or thinking about different possibilities can make you feel happier and more creative. Studies show that exploring new thoughts helps your brain learn, plan for the future, and become stronger in problem-solving. A. Just trying new things is not enough. B. However, this ease can make us feel lazy and stuck. C. Instead, it’s important to take small, manageable steps. D. Thinking in new ways is another important kind of progress. E. These improvements stay with you even after your workouts. F. True progress means looking for perfect action in all pursuits. G. Real progression happens when we learn new skills for the future. 第二部分 知识运用（共两节，满分30分。） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分。） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I grew up in a cross-cultural environment, befriending artists from around the world.
